Unlike what a previous thread tried to make us believe, the approval of the president's handling of the Katrina crisis has indeed slipped.
From CBS (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/09/08/opinion/polls/main824591.shtml):
President George W. Bush's overall response to Katrina meets with disapproval today – a dramatic change from the public’s reaction just after the storm hit on August 29th. Last week, in the two days immediately after Katrina made landfall, a majority of Americans said they approved of Bush's response, although more than a third were not sure. Now, only 38% approve. A majority disapproves.
